Where This Fossil Comes From

About the Megalodon Shark

Megalodon was the largest predatory shark to ever live, with estimated lengths of 50–60 feet and jaws capable of crushing bone. During the Miocene and Pliocene epochs, it ruled warm oceans worldwide, preying on whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals.
